COLLEGE STATION, TX — The College Station fire chief resigned on Friday. His last day with the city will be Jan. 3.

Jonathan McMahan will no longer be in charge of day-to-day operations, however. He will be available to the city if needed through Jan. 3.

McMahan was hired as fire chief in early 2017 after serving as the fire chief and regional director of the Rural Metro Fire Department in Tucson, AZ.

“We thank Chief McMahan for his service to our community and fire department and wish him the very best,” Woods said.

Fire command staff will continue to handle the daily operations of CSFD. Deputy City Manager Jeff Capps will take a more active role in overseeing the department during the interim period.
